Do people with diabetes type 2 gain or lose weight?

19 May

My dad whose a doctor says they gain weight over time, but online I read they lose weight so I am confused.
The person is a 25 year old woman. I read that 70% of women diagnosed with diabetes type 2 are obese to begin with. So will she lose weight overtime?

What other things to expect from 25 years old?

Why does type 2 diabetes cause weight gain?

15 Apr

I have just been diagnosed with type 2 but am at a healthy weight. A lot of what I have been reading cites weight gain as a symptom of diabetes but I can’t understand why (if your cells aren’t getting enough energy, they break down fat = weight loss??). Is it because it increases your appetite? Or is it not a symptom, but a cause?

If anyone could clear this up for me please?

If you’ve had type 2 diabetes for years and start on insulin shots will it increase appetite and weight gain?

08 Apr

My mom has recently had surgery and they put her on insulin shots to control blood sugars. Since then her appetite has increased and she is gaining weight. She was already overweight. Is the insulin causing the weight gain? Her activity level is about the same.

What Is The Connection Between Insulin & Weight Gain?

25 Sep

I have a friend who has started injecting Rx insulin – she claims that it causes her to gain weight. But she has not been able to describe to me how the medication works.
When she is going to eat, she checks her blood sugar for her insulin dosage…. If she is in need of insulin, does she have a healthy reason to eat? Could she only eat when her blood sugar level dropped to a normal range? Wouldn’t that be healthier? And if there are circumstances when she eats with high blood sugar & insulin, isn’t that a time to eat very sparingly?
It seems to me that the insulin injection converts the blood sugar to fat storage, so the when she eats more, the blood sugar level won’t be dangerous for her health. But, doesn’t it mean that she already ate more than she needs – that’s why her blood sugar is high? Is there a correlation between insulin injecting and weight/fat gain?
